Study Plan for SSC CGL Tier-I

Today I'm going to present a helpful study plan for all SSC CGL Tier-I aspirants. I will just share the complete pattern of exam and the weightage of all the sections. Before, you read this article, firstly check the syllabus of SSC CGL. Then start making a study plan using the following discussion. Suggested books are discussed here. As we all know SSC CGL includes four sections given below and each section is consist of 50 questions.

Summarizing, You should firstly practice Series topics to cover the maximum syllabus. Then proceed further. Also, Problems based on ages and seating arrangement topics are important, but last year there was not a single question from this topic. But still you should cover this topic.

General Awareness

General Awareness section is one of the confusing sections as exact weightage of it can't be found. But according to the pattern of previous year exams, maximum questions have always been asked from Science, Polity, history, people in news, books etc. The tentative weightage is as follows:

Science, Static and Others covers the following topics:

STATIC

Polity

History

Geography

Environmental Biodiversity

SCIENCE

Biology

Physics

Chemistry

IT

OTHERS

People in news

Books

Students always think that reading just current affairs if sufficient for general awareness. But the truth is, topics like polity, biodiversity, history are also important in exam view. For these topics, you just need to cover NCERT books which are very easy to cover, but includes almost everything. Therfore, for Static part, no need to cover lengthy books.

English Section

English section covers Reading comprehensions, Vocabulary and grammar. Tentative weightage is as follows:

In SSC CGL exam, two reading comprehensions have always been asked i.e 10 questions. Vocabulary and grammar involves following topics:

VOCABULARY

Synonym

Antonym

Idioms and Phrases

Word substitution

GRAMMAR

Spelling

Sentence Correction

Sentence Improvement

Blanks

So, i just give a complete outlook of the pattern. I hope now almost everything is clear about the pattern of SSC CGL. A little or more changes could be there.
